adventures in sense:
a monk in a 7-11.
at moments, the worst city smells you can imagine. all at the same time.
trees that look like Africa.
the girls' giggles as we try to speak their language.
heat and fans.
smiles from strangers.
deafening sounds of Hungry Hungry Hippo - they've played for hours.
I don't know how to sum up our trip so far. It's been so unlike what I was expecting - the people here don't notice us, which is a huge relief. I don't know if Chiangrai gets a lot of tourists, but they've generally ignored this conspicuous group of white people. It gives me the illusion that we're blending in...
So good to finally see Eden House after all I've heard. It's bigger, it's beautiful, and it's a home. These girls are sisters and the McCauleys are parents - with more and different issues to face, I think - but parents. And they're good ones.
The Thai culture seems such that the McCauleys' long-term, family-oriented, discipleship ministry is one of the most effective ways to bring about change. As these girls learn and grow spiritually, there is huge potential that they can then influence their respective villages and cities, their families and friends from before they were Christians. But they need lots of prayer - aspects of society pose huge challenges for girls and young women trying to follow Jesus.
Luke 13:6-9
